1. Multi-class shares: prefer the single dei:EntityCommonStockSharesOutstanding
cover-page fact; else fall back to us-gaap:CommonStockSharesOutstanding at
period end (Alphabet has no dei fact). Never sum class facts (companyfacts is
non-dimensional) and never use weighted-average/diluted; conflicting values ->
null, counted as an "ambiguous shares outstanding" note in validation. Plan's
"sum class-specific" wording corrected. Verified live: Alphabet shares now
populate (12.1B), Apple still uses its dei cover date.
2. Fiscal context is the majority (fy, fp) among facts ending at reportDate, with
ties rejected — no longer the arbitrary first fact.
3. Hardening: catalog selectors require taxonomy == "us-gaap"; indexing drops
malformed facts (missing accession/end, non-finite value) so a custom concept
or bad date can't be selected.
Tests: +8 (dei precedence, us-gaap fallback, conflict->null, no weighted-average,
tie-context skip, foreign-taxonomy/malformed ignored, ambiguous-shares note).
14 passed, 1 skipped.

Pure parser (no I/O/DB) turning one issuer's companyfacts + submissions filing
metadata into per-accession snapshot rows for the filing's primary period.
- Period identity from end == reportDate, never fy/fp (fy/fp is the filing's
context; comparatives repeat it).
- Duration facts stored as cumulative YTD: pick the fact whose span matches the
fiscal-period-to-date length (Q1~3mo..FY~12mo) within tolerance; no YTD-length
fact -> null (never a discrete masquerading as YTD).
- Balance-sheet instants at end == reportDate; shares_outstanding is the dei
cover-page fact whose own end (cover date) is stored in shares_outstanding_date.
- Cash and debt composites are aggregate-first and mutually exclusive (each
source tag counted at most once).
- Carries filing_date through submissions rows (snapshot.filed_date).
Verified on REAL Apple companyfacts: 44 snapshots, 0 skipped, YTD revenue
124.3B->219.7B->313.7B->416.2B across FY2025 (Q4 derives at read time), every
shares_date is the cover date != period_end. Tests: 6 fixture + 1 skip-guarded
live-invariants (monotonic YTD, cover-date shares).
